I can speak perfect Korean!

I had some down time at work this week. One of my nice co-workers, Mr. Han, took the time to teach me a few words. Whenever I learn a new language, the first sentence I like to learn is "I speak this language well."

Today at work, I asked a friend to call me so that the phone would ring. I then had the following one-sided conversation. The first sentence was in English, the rest was all in Korean.


"Cargo Documentation, this is Avram Fox speaking. How may I help you?"

"Yes, I speak Korean well."

"Yes, no, no, yes."

"Okay, thank you very much."

"Goodbye."


After I hung up the phone, I heard giggling from all of the cubicles around me. I think my Korean co-workers enjoyed my performance.
